Although I may decide to go back and stitch on these &#8220;finished&#8221; ones here and there. I am finding this project more and more compelling. It is attracting ideas to itself without a lot of forcing, which is wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6901.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6901.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6901-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing I might do is create a patchwork frame for each one (following Jude&#8217;s frames of mind, but in blue). The one on the upper right is not set squarely &#8211; it&#8217;s at an angle. I thought I could alleviate this a bit with a frame. And that would give it more space to exist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing I want to do is name each piece. I&#8217;m thinking of using quotes from this book, one of my absolute (weird) (almost unreadable) favorites. It has so much to say about houses and &#8220;intimate spaces.&#8221; And poetry and the universe and psychology and &#8230; lots of things. The title of this post came from browsing sentences and phrases I&#8217;d underlined the last time I&#8217;d read it. I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d have the patience to execute all this stitching, but it&#8217;s coming to pass. Maybe because it&#8217;s relentlessly rainy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6905-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6905-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_6905-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poppies in the rain. These are planted in the first plot as you come into the community garden. It&#8217;s so nice to see the bright pops of color as I walk in. It&#8217;s been rainy for days.
